Information Literacy Planning for Educators: The ILPO Approach [PDF file]
Jenny Ryan and Steph Capra
ILPO Information Literacy Planning Overview and the supporting documents combine the many facets of information literacy including critical thinking, problem solving and information technology into a planning document to support teachers and teacher-librarians. The program advocates a whole-school approach to the implementation of information literacy into the curriculum encouraging the development of a common language across year levels and subject areas. Through a problem solving approach, plagiarism and regurgitation of information makes way for creative and original thought. The project has been implemented in schools throughout Australia, and the ILPO documents have been published in North America by the American Library Association.
